In this episode with Fr. Ed Broom O.M.V., we delve into the significance of Jesus's final moments on the cross as he explores the timeless wisdom found in the best-selling book, "The Seven Last Words of Jesus" by Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen. The discussion centers around the seven last words spoken by Jesus during this pivotal moment of sacrifice. Fr. Broom emphasizes the gravity of these words, shedding light on their spiritual and theological implications.

Drawing from the teachings of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Fr. Broom articulates that Jesus's death on the cross wasn't merely a universal act to save all of humanity, but a deeply personal and sacrificial gesture, as if each individual were the only person in the world. This perspective underscores the immense love of God for each soul, a theme intricately woven into the fabric of Jesus's final moments. The episode also delves into the dual reality of Jesus's death on the cross and its connection to the inevitability of human mortality.

Fr. Broom reflects on the reasons behind Jesus enduring immense torment and agony, citing Saint Thomas Aquinas, who suggests that even the smallest gesture could have sufficed for Jesus to save the entire world. The speaker elucidates the dual purpose of Christ's sacrifice – to reveal the gravity of sin and to manifest the unparalleled love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Building upon these reflections, Fr. Broom guides listeners on a journey of self-preparation for the ultimate moment of their lives, emphasizing the importance of contemplating eternity, living each day as if it were the last, and maintaining a state of grace to secure a holy death.
